If my son already took the Earth Science Regents, does he have to retake it?

If he received less than 85% on the Regents last year, the answer is yes. If 
he received more than 85%, the answer is no. If he retakes the test this 
year and scores less than last year, the higher grade will be recorded on 
his transscript. For example, if he received an 80% last year and retakes it 
this year and if he gets a 72%, on his transscript will read 80%.
